Controversial Aid Plan For Gaza Revealed In New Document, Includes American CEOs & Banks
Via Middle East Eye
The organization set to administer Israel's controversial plan to take control of humanitarian aid distribution in Gaza will use private contractors to secure hubs where Palestinians will receive 1,750 kcal meals that will cost donors a little more than a dollar each.
Details about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) strategy for Gaza are laid out in a 14-page document circulating amongst aid organizations working on Gaza and seen by Middle East Eye.
The hitherto unknown nonprofit, which was registered in Switzerland in February, has been touted as the umbrella body that will seemingly take over humanitarian operations in Gaza while inviting NGOs to "take advantage" of its "logistics, security and transparency frameworks".

Amazon Says It Can′t Keep Up With AI Demand, Trump Doubles Down on Gaza Vision | Bloomberg The Pulse (Bloomberg)
|
|

Amazon warned investors that it could face capacity constraints in its cloud computing division despite plans to invest some $100 billion this year, with most of the money going toward data centers, homegrown chips and other equipment to provide artificial intelligence services. In geopolitical news, President Donald Trump reasserted his vision for a “spectacular” development in the Gaza Strip, led by the US and without Palestinians, in a social media post early Thursday.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that Israel would hand over control of Gaza to the US “at the conclusion of fighting,” and that no US soldiers would be needed to execute his plan.

US stock futures point downwards amid disappointing earnings results from Alphabet and AMD. Gold hits a record high as investors sought safe havens while digesting the reality of a US-China trade war. The US postal service stops handling inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong and Apple's app store comes under closer scrutiny in Beijing. The escalating game of chess between the US and China might provide upside down the road for Europe says Monica Defend, Head of the Amundi Investment Institute. Marvin Loh of State Street thinks markets are holding onto an off-ramp and are likely under-appreciating that the tariff genie is out of the bottle. “Bloomberg Brief” delivers the market news, data and analysis you need to set your agenda.

Apple Faces Possible China Probe; Trump Says US Should Take Over Gaza | Bloomberg The Pulse (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Donald Trump said the US should take control of the devastated Gaza Strip. “The US will take over the Gaza Strip,” Trump said Tuesday during a White House news conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.” In Israel, most politicians welcomed Trump's remarks, saying they were an original way of trying to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the rest of the Middle East, the reaction was negative. The Palestine Liberation Organization, which represents political groups in Gaza and the West Bank, said it was “steadfast” in opposing any displacement of Gazans from their “homeland.” In other news, China's antitrust watchdog is examining Apple's policies, including taking a cut of up to 30% on in-app spending and barring external payment services and stores.

Hamas Vows To Intensify Gaza Fight After 'Fallen Martyr' Sinwar's Killing, As Biden Urges Ceasefire
Hamas on Friday has issued official confirmation that Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces in southern Gaza. Spokesman and Gaza head Khalil Hayya announced in a televised address that Sinwar has become a "fallen martyr".
Calling him "steadfast, brave and intrepid," Hayya asserted that Sinwar "sacrificed his life to the cause of our liberation." Israeli authorities had killed him by likely tank fire on a residential building in Rafah, and quickly examined his body, confirming his identify through dental and DNA records (Sinwar had previously spent years in Israeli prison).
"He met his end standing brave, with his head held high, holding his firearm, firing until the last breath, until the last moment of his life," the Hamas official said, emphasizing that he died in combat. It appears his death happened Wednesday and the Israelis came upon his body amid the rubble on Thur...

Bonds are a form of debt that are sold by states to international and domestic investors in order to raise funds for public spending, with interest being paid by the state to the bond holder.
Barclays will be withdrawing from the purchase of future Israeli bond offerings, but will continue acting as a "primary dealer", which helps the state to sell the bonds.
Thursday's report of a withdrawal does not mean a complete end to involveme...

Houthis Report 16 Dead In Biggest Joint US-UK Airstrikes Since Gaza War Began
Early on Friday Yemen's Houthis announced what appears to be the biggest mass casualty attack by the Western coalition since Red Sea hostilities began in the wake of Oct.7.
The joint British-U.S. airstrikes happened Thursday, and killed at least 16 people and wounded 35 others, according to Houthis statement. "We confirm this brutal aggression against Yemen as punishment for its position in support of Gaza, in support of Israel to continue its crimes of genocide against the wounded, besieged and steadfast Gaza Strip," Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam said.

IDF Tanks Reach Center Of Rafah As Hamas Claims 'Indiscriminate Bombing' Of Population
Israeli tanks have reached the heart of Rafah overnight amid continual heavy bombardment and shelling. Local eyewitnesses say they've reached a roundabout in the center of the city which forms a key landmark.
Images and footages to emerge Tuesday have confirmed the advance of tank columns and IDF infantry deep into Rafah, which has sent thousands more displaced Palestinians fleeing from the Western half of the city, where the most intense fighting is happening.
Additionally BBC has observed of IDF tanks that overnight "they also seized control of the highest hilltop along the Gaza-Egypt border after reported gun battles with Hamas-led fighters."
Al Jazeera still frame of IDF tank in center of Rafah.
Airstrikes have continued to increase in intensity on the Western outskirts, especially on the al-Faluja area which lies west of Jabalia camp.
